But hey, if I can make other people laugh with my idiotic escapades, that's awesome! (I'm still laughing at myself. Mostly the thought process as the critter was climbing my leg. "... On the one hand, I know where she is. On the other hand, now what?")
Indeed they don't, and in... man, five-ish? years of keeping rats, I've only been bitten twice; once when I accidentally surprised a sweet rat and once because Swish could be just plain mean when she wanted to be.
On the other hand, I'm not a rat, wild rats tend towards aggression more than domestic rats, and compared to the babything, I was this absolute collossus chasing it around a strange enclosed space trying to catch it. Poor kid probably thought I was after a Rat Sammich-- I almost expected to be bitten out of self-defense.
You know, aside from the moments of 'oh god must jam rug up against doorjamb she can get through that' and 'oh CRAP did she go down the DRAIN?!' I could appreciate the humor even as I was going "Slow down I am not going to eat you honey you don't want to hide behind the plunger!"
